Zimbra Collaboration Reviews

I primarily use the solution for sending and receiving emails and meeting requests. 

It is very easy to use. 

The solution is easy to implement. 

The solution can scale. 

We have had an issue with security. We had attacks in the summer, which is why we didn't buy the latest update. The security is bad. I'm not sure if it was on Zimbra's end or the firewall's or human error. 

I've been using the solution for five years. 

We have had issues with stability. 

We have about 200 people on the solution right now. The scalability of the solution is fine. 

The initial setup is not complex. It is very easy to deploy. 

I'm not sure how many people were involved in the deployment process.

I'm not sure of the exact cost of the solution. However, my understanding is that it is not too expensive. I'm not sure if there are any extra fees. 

We have been evaluating Zimbra and MS Exchange. We wanted to know if MS Exchange was better than Zimbra.

While I'm not sure of the exact version we're using, it is not the latest version. 

We may be switching to MS Exchange. Our department head would like to switch. However, our IT team doesn't want another project at this time. 

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten overall. 

Zimbra Collaboration is mainly used for messaging, emails, calendars, video conferencing, and document sharing.

Zimbra Collaboration's sharing features are most valuable.

Zimbra Collaboration's video conferencing could be improved. Their documentation is also mainly in English, and it would be useful to have it available in other languages. There's also a problem with the new Admin NG module, which makes it possible for the administrator to access users' mail on their system, which is particularly problematic for organizations with confidentiality requirements. This feature cannot be removed, though you can choose whether or not to activate it. In the next release, Zimbra Collaboration should make all the features from their previous web interface available on their new one.

I've been using Zimbra Collaboration since 2011.

Zimbra Collaboration's stability is generally ok, but it depends on the version number, especially if you're early in that version. For example, there were some issues with high numbers of sessions and infrastructure requirements in the early days of version eight.

Zimbra Collaboration's architecture is ok for scalability if you do the multi-node deployment. However, there's a problem with the high availability of mailbox servers, which isn't very good.

The initial setup isn't very complex.

Zimbra Collaboration is expensive, and there is no perpetual license option. Also, their licensing model is unclear, making it difficult to evaluate the value of the solution before buying.

Zimbra's community is very helpful when you need information. I would rate Zimbra Collaboration nine out of ten.

Zimbra Collaboration is a plain mailing solution across our organization and with our partners.

The most valuable feature of Zimbra Collaboration is email functionality.

Zimbra Collaboration does not have a solution roadmap as aggressive as the new collaboration mail solutions. Additionally, they can have a better interface and integration with single sign-on.

I have been using Zimbra Collaboration for approximately seven years.

Zimbra Collaboration is a stable solution.

There were 5,000 users using Zimbra Collaboration.

The scalability of Zimbra Collaboration is good.

I have contacted support for some incidents.

I have not used another similar solution to Zimbra Collaboration.

The initial installation of Zimbra Collaboration was straightforward.

The deployment of Zimbra Collaboration was done in-house. The solution does not require any maintenance.

There is an annual standard licensing fee to use Zimbra Collaboration and there is no other cost.

I rate Zimbra Collaboration an eight out of ten.

I use the product for the main server.

Network NG Modules are valuable to us. They are very high modules. The solution has features that can help administrators and users to manage the server. It is the best tool.

The only problem I face with the product is spam. I do not have any other big problems. The antispam and antivirus features are hard to understand on mobile devices. The solution should improve the features to provide more clarity to the users.

I am using the solution currently.

The product is stable. I rate the stability an eight out of ten.

I rate the solution’s scalability a nine out of ten. It is very scalable.

The initial setup is easy for system administrators.

The deployment took one hour.

The solution is not expensive compared to other products. It is cheap.

I know others who use the solution in their organization. I would recommend the tool to others. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Our primary use case is for email purposes.

I would like to see a Microsoft schedule function added. In addition, some additional appearance and convenience features would be nice.

The most valuable feature of Zimbra Collaboration is the cost.

I have been working with Zimbra Collaboration for the past three or four years.

In general, the overall stability is good.

The initial setup was straightforward and not difficult.

Zimbra Collaboration has a better price than Microsoft.

When you compare it to Microsoft the only major difference is the scheduling and advanced scheduling feature

I would rate Zimbra Collaboration and eight out of ten.

We typically use the solution for our email and collaboration. It’s nothing much. It’s just the basic functionality that we are leveraging.

The subscription base in terms of their support, unlike before, now has a community addition. Now, everything is free.

It's just easy to use and straightforward. For an SMB, it is a recommendable email solution.

The product is easy to set up.

It’s a stable solution.

It does have a few bugs. However, they are small and can be worked around.

The performance could be better in terms of handling multiple domains.

I’ve used the solution for three to five years at this point. I’ve used it for a while now. It’s been a long time.

The stability has been great. There are some bugs that can be fixed with minor workarounds. It doesn’t crash or freeze. It’s reliable. I like the performance, however, of course, it could be better.

We have about 150 users on the solution currently.

We do not really plan to increase usage as we are trying to reduce it due to the pandemic. We really need to trim it down, actually.

We haven’t needed support, although in the community version, there is a community you can reach to for help. The community has been responsive so far.

The solution is easy to set up. It’s not overly complicated.

The installation process only takes an hour. It’s pretty fast.

Deployment and maintenance only require two people. There’s an engineer and a systems admin.

We have an integrator that assists us.

There is now a community addition that is free to use.

We are using an older version of the solution.

I’d rate the solution eight out of ten.

I would recommend the solution to others, especially if they happen to be an SMB.

We have customers that are using the on-premise version of Zimbra Collaboration and others are using the cloud.

We Zimbra Collaboration to send and receive email primarily. Additionally, we use it for collaboration, sharing documents, and calendar contacts. It's a solution for massaging and collaboration.

The backup and storage management features of Zimbra Collaboration are valuable.

Zimbra Collaboration could improve the migration from a basic solution to a more containerized solution. For example, the installation should be able to extend to the containers and manage them with some solution, such as OpenShift or Kubernetes.

The video conference solution Zimbra Connect is a mediocre solution for video conferences. They should make it more similar to Office 365 and add some collaboration with other solutions, such as Alfresco.

I have been using Zimbra Collaboration for approximately two years.

Zimbra Collaboration must work on the high availability of the platform.

I have found Zimbra not to be very stable. If we see in one node, we have a lot of patches and collective principles of security. Zimbra is not very stable, but it's okay. We can see some bugs in the Zimbra Collaboration but they release patches to fix them. For example, in the last patches, they corrected a vulnerability that could have caused an attack with Log4j.

This solution is scalable horizontally and vertically

Zimbra Collaboration is suitable for all sizes of companies, small, medium, and large companies, such as government, industry, and media.

I have been satisfied with the support.

The initial setup of Zimbra Collaboration is straightforward. However, we must be the administrators of Linux because we need to have access to the command-line to install it. We cannot install it with the graphic interface. We must have the ability to manage some command line code in the systems of Linux.

The time of the deployment depends on the complexity of the architecture. For example, if we install it in one node, it can take a maximum of one hour. However, when we install in the multi-node system. A complex installation can take over three days.

We provide the services for our customers, the fabric, and the training centers.

The price of the solution is low. 

The total cost of our projects is low. For example, if we compare Zimbra Collaboration with Microsoft, the license of one account they are probably the same price. However, after the initial licensing, to add more options or use features in the Microsoft solution you must purchase them. In Zimbra, when we buy a license, there are only two levels of license. If we buy the premium license, we have almost all the features activated in our license.

My advice to those wanting to implement Zimbra Collaboration is they will have to have some experience in the manipulation of Linux systems. If there are issues with Zimbra Collaboration there should be someone with experience. If there is no one with experience with the ability to manage Linux systems, you will not be able to troubleshoot any problem in Zimbra Collaboration.

I rate Zimbra Collaboration an eight out of ten.

Zimbra Collaboration is useful for small to medium organizations, such as educational institutes, schools, and universities. For big businesses and enterprises, I do not this it is as useful. There are some other useful solutions, such as Office 365 and Google Cloud which would be better suited.

The logs, troubleshooting, and tracking we have found to be the most valuable features. We have any issues with lost messages the features are useful. It is very easy to track and log.

I have been using Zimbra Collaboration for approximately 10 years.

Zimbra Collaboration has been stable.

I have found Zimbra Collaboration to be scalable but could improve.

We have approximately 400 to 500 users that use this solution.

We do not have plans to increase usage.

I have been satisfied with the technical support from Zimbra Collaboration.

The installation is not straightforward, it can take two days for the full implementation.

We used help from an integrator for the implementation.

We have approximately four administrators and engineers that support this solution.

We do not pay for licenses to use this solution.

I would recommend this solution for small to medium-scale businesses.

I rate Zimbra Collaboration a seven out of ten.
